The user experience for marking spam accounts is degraded in version 1.6:
- The number of steps to mark a user as a spammer has increased. Each
click-step requires a page reload, which further slows down the
administrative process.
- There are no other Capabilities currently presented, so it seems
premature to have a single option in that screen to spam users.
- The option 'This user is a spammer' is described as a Capability,
which, metaphorically, seems broken. Being a spammer seems more like an
account role or status.
By comparison, it is a lot easier to delete accounts. However, spam
accounts are common in BuddyPress, so having an Admin Bar menu option to
Mark as Spammer is more useful and expedient.
'''Proposed:'''
1. Revert to pre-1.6, with Mark as Spammer directly available from
AdminBar when in User Profile. Changeset [1801] has historical method of
marking users as spammers.
1. Include option directly under Edit Member, or as a menu flyout option
under a new Account Status submenu.
* So: AdminBar > Edit Member > Set Account Status > {(Not) Spammer |
Delete}.
* Replicate this in the Account Settings tab (changing Delete Account to
Account Status, and present Mark (Not) Spammer and Delete actions).
